Give praise to the Lord
for his kindness, for his wonderful deeds toward people. He has filled the hungry with good things, he
has satisfied the thirsty. Psalm 106:8-8
Dear SJE Families:
During times of change and challenge, Catholic
Schools provide long term benefits to the nation’s youth; a high quality, faith
based education that will continue to pay dividends for years to come. We celebrated Catholic Schools Week two weeks
ago. Its theme, “Catholic Schools: Dividends
for Life,” underscores the commitment of Catholic schools to continue that
tradition. Families and communities can
count on Catholic schools to instill in students the faith, knowledge, morals
and discipline that will enable them to fulfill their future roles as committed
citizens, productive employees and effective leaders.
A solid education results in a strong economy.
Did you know that the graduation rate for Catholic high schools in Los Angeles
is 99% and 98% of our graduates go on to higher education? This story needs to be told to the larger
community as we continue to produce academically and morally educated citizens
and an excellent future work force for our city and nation.
Thank you for making the
decision to invest in your child’s future.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs.
